I mean, there’s nothing preventing people from drinking water as part of this diet..
Hilariously enough, it’s really a very basic, boozy ketogenic diet.
You’ll lose a lot of water-weight in the first few days regardless, as you deplete your glycogen stores; the caffeine, alcohol and lack of carbohydrates should help keep satiety (lack of hunger pangs).
This is awesome; I’m too tired to do it right now - but I’d I remember I’d really like to normalise this against country populations to see what percent of a nation is a Reddit user.
At a glance, I’m pretty sure Australia is punching well above its weight - if nothing else.
Nintendo has been staunchly anti-emulation since even before the N64 launched, and it hasn’t hurt them yet.
I’m a proud Steam Deck owner, and I’ll be the first to admit that I predominantly use it to emulate my old games collection (PS1-3 & PSP), plus SNES out of sheer spite at Nintendo.
However, my relatively tech-savvy relatives (even those in their 20s), baulk at something as complex as SteamOS.
I think Nintendo’s safe for at least one more console generation, before the normies get on the portable-PC wagon.
Some analysts are morons. The reason the Wii U failed was because it wasn’t clear that it was a successor console, and not just a weird add-on.
People have been conditioned to understand numerical console increases for over two decades now thanks to the PlayStation.
Edit: As an aside, are there any console manufacturers besides Sony who have had sequential model numbers consistently? I’ve been mulling this under the last couple of hours and nothing comes to mind!
I mean, Bing has proven itself to the the best search engine for porn - so it kinda stands to reason that their AI model would have a particular knack for generating even more of the stuff!
I assume it would be using renewable, non-carbon producing forms of energy to power this; ie. geothermal, solar, wind, heck - even nuclear would be a good power source for this sort of machinery (with a consistent power requirement).
The more pertinent question IMO is, how many of these machines would be need to first bring global net-Carbon emissions to 0 - and the. How many more would we need to reverse the last century+ of CO2 pollution and bring air quality back to pre-industrial revolution levels?
As long as the Dems keep glossing over the worsening K-shaped economy, and talking past the pain that the majority of middle-America is feeling - they’re going to continue to lose the working class to apathy and the GOP.
It doesn’t matter if wages nationally ‘went up” $1b, if it all went to like 3 people, and everyone else’s wages stagnated or went down.
Honestly, with the way things are going - Canada could very benefit from the entire Pacific coast seceding, along with New England, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.
Legitimately would flip the global economic status quo on its head, ‘eh!
While I mostly agree with your line of thinking, I do feel the urge to point out that most of the value of property is tied to the land underneath the structure, rather than the building itself.
This is largely why one of those Sears catalogue 2-3 bedroom post-war homes is worth significantly more than a similar footprint modern apartment/townhouse a few doors down.
The houses themselves are often seen as a depreciating asset; and for the more unscrupulous land-bankers, these fires just became free demolition.
I guess what I’m saying is, shit’s even more fucked than you thought.. and until we get rid of milquetoast liberal politicians and replace them with actual populist progressives globally, it will only continue to get worse.
I’m sure there would be a few, surely? Multi-million dollar lottery win; finding an old USB key with a bunch of bitcoin; discovering an oil/gas reserve on your property; finding a suspicious unattended briefcase filled with unmarked bills; an unexpected inheritance from a previously unknown great-aunt, provided you spend a night in her haunted manor...
…yoy know, just those usual circumstances that happen to all of us!
My family’s first PC was hand-me-down Amiga 2000; so these games helped shape me growing up:
Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis
T-Rex Warrior*
Cannon Fodder
Sensible Soccer**
The Settlers
After the War
Funny anecdote, if memory serves - it took my child brain over a year to figure out that holding down both mouse buttons made you move forward..
** Namely, the demo disk version which was set in 1945 and replaced the ball with a bomb that would periodically explode, killing nearby players and removing them from the match.
Because their destination was within the Russian federation? The more egregious act was denying them the ability to perform an emergency landing on Russian soil, forcing them to fly over the Caspian Sea all while jamming their ability to access GPS .
He gets this much coverage because for better or worse, he now owns the Internet’s equivalent of the Town Square.
Every dumb-ass decision, stupid-ass contradiction, and dead-ass brain-fart are exponentially amplified as a result.
Every one of his fanboys are the true definition of SIMPs; suckers idolising mediocre personalities.
Maybe once we start calling a spade a spade, will those lemmings perhaps rethink their positions? Or will they continue to barrel head-first off the cliffs of self-respect?
They are getting stricter, but there are still ways around it - and it only gets easier if you have friends/family (or are willing to make friends) in said countries; the internet is a global community, after all.
